ARC VOK MTIjLiS. LIKELY TO JBE A COMPK03IISE. Ei-Minister Pbelps Talks Abont tho Behrinc Sea Court of Arbitration. New York, Aug. 14. Ex-Mlnlster Edward J. Pbelps, who aoted as counsel for tbe United States gorernraent before the board of arbitration, which is considering, in Paris, tbe dispute between the United States and England over tbe Bchring seal fisheries. Is now in this city. He was asked to-night if thera was any special significance in tbe faot tbat Sir Cbarles Rnssell had been hastily summoned from London to Paris within tbe past twenty-four hoars. "None whatever' said Mr. Phelps, "unless, perbaps. it may be taken as indicating tbat tbe board of arbitration is about to make pnbho its decision. In snch an event it would be only natural that Sir Cbarles, as leading connsel for the British government, would want to be present when it is delivered. What tbe terms of tbe decision will be I am unable to say, nor ought 1 to know, as one interested otlicinlly. There is not the slightest foundation, in fact, for tbe statements that there was anything approaching coolness or rancorous feeling between tbe counsel for England and those for this government. Our relations were always of tbe most pleasant character, and we acted merely as advocates of our respective sides, without the slightest personal animus. As to the suggestion that England will not abide by the decision if unfavorable to her, I deem such a thing absurd. I have no doubt than Epgland will submit even if she loses every point in the controversy. This, however, is hardly possible, as the outcome of it all is likely to be a compromise, as all international questions submitted to arbitration usually are." "Force Day" Among Whisky Men. Louisville. Kv.. Aug. 14. To-day was force nay at the internal revenue otlice and owners of May, 1890, whisky in bond, had to pay their taxes or suffer tbe penalty provided by law. The total amount of tax due on whisky in this district to-day was in round numbers, &432.00O. At 4 o'clock tbe total collections at the Louisville otlice were SlUl.&i'J.oO. Tho eolleotions at Newport, Lebanon and Uardstown will supplement this amount. Collector Johnson thinks, to almost tbe total sum due. Tbe collector stated that he thought only a very small quantity of whisky, and that in small odds lots, would incur tbe penalty for nonpayment of tax. Obitu.iry. Baltimore, Md.. Aug. 14. Prof. O. A.

These are tbe best figures Horace Tucker's department has been able to give out thus far in the world's fair season. The feature of to-day's entertainment was the concert by the Midway people in the Festival HalL The weather was perfect. No better day could have been chosen to see the exposition. The sun shone out of a clear sky, but was not hot On the oontrary. it felt comfortable. The air was fresh and invigorating, while everything on tho exposition grounds looked at its best. Tho wooded island was perhaps the most popular resort. All marks of Saturday night s illumination had disappeared, and it was. indeed, a Pleasant place to spend a part of the d,y. J. S. Barton Key has written to Direotorgeneral Davis, suggesting the reproduction at the fair on Sept. 16, of the bombardment of Fort Mcllenry, the battle that gave to America "The Star-span3led Banner." It is suggested tbat the fort be represented on the pier, and shells, rockets and other fire works be hurled against it. The dawn of day could be represented with the aid of thesearch lights showing the star-spangled banner waving. The ethnographical feature of to-morrow will consist of an international regatta to be pulled between canoes from the following nations: Dahomey, South Sea islands, Labrador, Penobscot Indians and Iroquois. Each nation will be represented by two or more canoes, and a prize will be given to tbe winner. Afterward the winners of tbe first zaces will pull against eaoh other and two prizes, first and second, will" be given. The course will be in the canal east of the wooded island from the stake boat anchored near the Japanese wooden palace around another stake boat anchored west of the main entrance of tbe Manufactures Building and back to tbe first stake boat, in tho afternoon there will be boats from all nations pulling around the lagoons to enliven the waters. . Extensive preparations are being made for the entertainment of the Rajaman of Kapurthala, the King of Kings, to-mrnovr. Two large electrio launches are being decorated in royal style for his use.

In tho second launch will ride the Rajah's suite. They will land at the MoMonnies fountain, where they will bemetby Director-general Davis and staff of military ami naval otlicers. A red carpet will be spread from the landing to the east terminal station for his Highness to walk upon. On the plaza east of tbe terminal station a platform will be erected upon which Mr. Rajaman will view the military and military parade. Seated with him on this platform will be tbe world's fair officers. General Miles and his stall, and the foreign commissioners. A court of reference and appeals on awards was established to-day. The matter has been under consideration for several weeks. After disoussion to-day the motion to establish the court was carried. The members will be appointed in a day or two. The commission conHrmed the following judges: Hon. A. Mack, to represent the government of Monaeo; Jude Hazleton, Burlington, Vt., and Mrs. G. W.

Special to the Iadlanaoolls Journal. Roby, Ind., Aug. 14. Dan Creedon, of Australia, the middleweight champion of the colonies, and Alex. Greggains, of San Francisco, champion of the Pacific coast, came together to-night in the arena of the Columbian Athletio Club for a purse of 5,0C0. Creedon was seconded by B a Halo Costello, Tom Tracey. Jimmy Carroll and Sam Fitzpatrick, with Colonel Hopkins as timekeeper. Greggains was supported by Joe Lewis, "Mysterious" Billy Smith, Joe King and Billy Hennessy, with Warren Lewis holding the watch. George Slier was the referee. Little betting was done, though the 'Frisco man ruled favorite at small odds. In anticipation of a long-drawn-out battle the curtain-raiser was dispensed with. Six thousand people, composed of a better class than had heretofore attended, were present. The irrepressible George Francis Train had a good seat, as did, also, Evan Lewis, Parson Davies, Joe Choynski and Mose Guns, Frank C. Ives occupied a box, accompanied by the Maharaja of Kapurthala, who is visiting the world's fair, and several of his suite. At 10 o'clock, to the moment. Dan Creedon made his appearance in tbe ring. Greggains followed a moment later, and the two men were introduced and shook hands with every appearance of heartiness. Creedon demanded a toss for choice of corners, and, winning it in a jifly. chose tbe northeast, or what is known as the "lucky" corner. Both men looked in the very pink of condition, their appearance when they stripped eliciting hearty applause. . THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS. First Round Both men sparred for an opening. Gregaains led, bat fell short. Creedon countered on the wind and landed in Greggains's stomach. Both men - were evidently inolined to force the fighting. In endeavoring to land a right-hander Creedon slipped to his knees, and quiokly reoovered. Greggains landed lightly on tho breast, and the men clinched. Greggains landed with left and right on the face as time was called. Second Round Greggains retreated before a right bander and got a left in the face. A clinch followed, and Greggains landed right and left on faoe and ducked a .vicious right-hander, asain jabbing with hi&Jett and staving Creedon'a rushes with his right. Creedon got in a light body blow, and followed with an upper cut and two vicious rights in the face. The round ended with honors even. Third Round Both men moved cautiously, Greggains finally landed heavily on his opponent's face with the left and followed it with a jab in the wind. He landed still another good left on face and once more followed it up. Creedon manased to get in his right on the wind, but with little effect. Both men were sparring for wind as the gong sounded. Fourth Round Creedon led for the breast, but fell short and got a jab in the heck in return. Greggains countered twice on the body and followed it up by a stinging blow in the face. Creedon landed lightly on the body, bnt again got In tbe face. Then he ducked a swinging right, only to receive a lefthander in the face. Creedon seemed unable to reach his opponent, the latter showing himself remarkably clever on his feet in avoiding rushes. Creedon got home hard on the wind with his right at the round ended. Fifth Round Greggains came up apparently suffering from his last body blow. He opened the round, however, with a hard right on the face, and followed it np with his left. Creedon again fell short in playing for hlsopponent's wind, and nearly went to the ground. Alight interchange of blows followed, and again Greggains got in his right and left on the face, tho round ending slightly in bis favor. Sixth Round Creedon started with a blow in the wind, but Greggains followed it with three heavy blows in the face in succession. Creedon endeavored to force the hunting, bnt Greggains stopped him with jabs. Both men then went at it hammer and tongs, landing on each other in quick succession. Creedon landed once on the face, but Greggains landed ceveral body blows. Toward tbe close of the round, however, Greggains went to the ground from a heavy right-hander. He managed to stagger to his feet, was again punched and was only saved by the call of time. Seventh Round Both men came np tired, but Greggains had summoned his nerve. Creedon laid for a knockout. Greggains was bleeding from the mouth and played for time. He managed to get in another on tbe face, and followed it up on the wind to end the round. Eighth Round Greggains came up considerably recuperated, while Creedon was as fresh as a lamb. The latter attempted to force tne fighting, but Greggains landed in the wind and followed it up in the face. Creedon got in a good left-Lander on tbe jaw and received a similar compliment in return. Then there was a llghtinterohange; neither man doing any harm. Finally Greggains got In a good right on the face, following it in the wind and sending Creadon to the ropes. A clinoh followed, and both men went to their corners tired. Ninth Round Greggains landed lightly in the neck with his right and Creedon followed with a left-hander on the jaw. Both men exchanged several light blows, but tbe round ended tamely, with both men sparring. A gang of interlopers was caught and expelled during this round, creating considerable uproar. Tenth Round Creedon led with right and letton the face, but ineffectually tried to get at his opponent's wind. Finally be landed right and left on the stomach, and Greggains clinobed to avoid more punishment and ducked an upper cut tbat would have laid him low. Creeden again landed right and left on the face and wind, but Greggains landed well in the face as the round ended. It was Creedon'a round. Eleventh Round Creedon led for tbe wind, getting in right and left, and countered on tbe mouth, again drawing blood. Gresgams responded, but bis blows fell short and light. It was nobody's round. Twelfth Round Creedon landed several times in tbe wind and face, bnt Greggains avoided a knockout. The mob on tbe outside attempted to batter down the doors and a panic nearly resulted. An attempt was made to tire tbe ticket otlice, which was extinguished with a pail of water. The thirteenth ronnd commenced amid almost indescribable uproar, shouts and ; cries, the major portion of tbe audience j yelling to the remainder to be eool and sit ! down. Crsedon landed in tbe wind and I Greggains followed with a left-hander in the face. Creedon landed a hard right on tbe jaw and followed with two resounding blows in the'eame direction. Creedon was punching him around tbe ring as time was called, with Greggains very groggy. Fourteenth Round Creedon landed with his righton the jaw, followed itup with the left ana countered with the left in the wind

He reneated the rjerformance with a side

jab in tbe mouth. Greggains's endurance and gameness won him considerable applause. Creedon landed several blows in succession on his opponent's jaw, and the other, although groggy, was still smiling when the ronnd ended. Fifteenth Round At first Creedon landed a lefthander on the jaw. and followed it again and a third time. At the last blow Greggains went down like An ox. He endeavored to clamber to his knees, but failed in the attempt, and then fell back like a log. and was counted out Creedon turned a handspring iu the middle of the ring, and was then bodily carried out by hie enthusiastic supporters. The fight ended at 11:00 o'clock. Greggains came to in a few moments, shook hands with the victor, and both took a drink together. TRIED TO MIOOT JOII?f IV. "Sport" McCluskey Fires a Bullet at Bruiser einlllvan in ftetarn for ft Blow. New Yoiik. Aug. 14. It transpires tbat John Lu Sullivan, ex-champion pugilist of tbe world, had a narrow escape from death at the hands of a fellow sport the other evening in the barroom of the Vanderbilt Hotel, at Lexington avenue and Forty-second street. Tbe particulars have been guarded. Sullivan entered the barroom at about 8 o'clock in the evening. He had been drinking heavily and was in an ugly mood. He was accompanied by two old friends. Suiiivan lurched into tbe bar room, and, facing the counter, ordered wine for every one in tbe place. At the further end of tbe bar was a man by tbe name of McCluskey, with whom Sullivan had some words in Boston three years ago. The pugilist did not eeo his old enemy when he entered the room. It was only when he saw that McCluskey refused to drink that Sullivan learned his identity. He went down the bar to induce the man he believed was a stranger to take a glass of wine. When Sullivan got within six feet of tbe man bo saw who it was, and then began a tirade of abuse. He accused McCluskey of having slandered him behind his back. McCluskey quietly denied that he had ever spoken disparagingly of the pugilist, and. what was more, he had not even taken tbe trouble to give him a second thought since the Boston trouble. Sullivan glared at his enemy a moment, and then, bringing his fist down on the mahogany, shouted, in a voice of anger that could be heard almost a block away: "Vou are a liar, McCluskey, and I can ?rove it. Do von hear w hat 1 say, you eurf 'on have been talking about me behind my back, and I say tbat yon are a liar." McCluskey was crimson with anger by this time, lie brought down his fist on the bar in turn and turning to Sullivan said: "I have told you that I never spoke behind your back, and when you say 1 have you lie. and know it" The significance of the return of the compliment did not dawn on Sullivan for a few seconds. Then he clinched his right band and shot it forth. It struck McCluskey on the left side of tbeneokand kuooked him down, but not stun him. The prostrate roan's band went to his hip pocket in a twinklindr. As soon as Sullivan saw tho movement he turned and ran for the door, I'Ut a shot sped after him before he could r iach It Before a second ebot oonld be fired the pugilist's friends rushed in and wrested tho weapon from McCluskey.

It was at thia juncture the firemen arrived, ladders wera raised and the work of rescuing tbe imperiled inmates systematically began. For some, hemmed in by flames, overpowered by smoke and with all egress shut off, the rescue was too late, however. The firemen found dead bodies rather than living ones.

William Barabino, tbe niaht clerk, waa waiting for the day clerk to relieve him, shortly before 7 o'clock. He stepped into the wash room and, while there, says he heard a queer rattling noise in the otlice, which might have been caused by tbe falling of a lamp, lie contiuued his ablutions, however, thinking, for the moment, the noise was caused by a passing wagon. Soon be caught the odor of smoke. Un opening tbe wash-room door he found the hallway and office full of smoke. He raised the cry of fire and made his escape down the front stairway. By this time the flames were climbing from the starting point on the eeoond floor up tho stairway up to the third floor. Smoke was pouring from the windows aud an alarm soon brought theclanging engines to tho spot. As tbe guests awoke their sbrioks were heard and half dressed forms began to appear at tbe windows. Tbe fire was one of tbe most horrible I have witnessed in all my experience in the tiro department." said Assistant Fire Marshal Musham, after he returned from the scene of the accident. "At 7 o'clock in tbe morning.with the streets alive with people, and one of tho principal streets of tbe oity. it seems incredible that so many persons could lose their lives. Had there been any tire escapee on tbo building the loss would not hava been so great. Bnt the law does not require tbat fire escapes shall be built on lodging houses less than four storiea m height. Hence there were none, and thn poor people in tho building had either to jump or wait till we could take them ofL That tho loss was no greater is marvelous, too, I think. People are not quiok usually to heed warnings to remain on window ledges until a ladder can be thrown up to them when a fire is raging behind them, let when I got there three persons were clinging to ledges on the rear and a woman and a boy to a window sill. We shouted to all to remain where they were, and they bravely stuck it out, until tbe ladders were rmsed. I expeoted every moment some of them would jump. The law requiring the erection of tireescapes shonld be changed so as to include at least buildings nsed as lodging houses. One poor fellow 1 found dead just in front of a window, from which a large transparent sign projected over the street. Hsd he chosen any other room he would probably havo escaped, but that window was blocked completely by tbe hugeeigu. We had to cut the partition from the next room to get him out. Thore is another law prohibing the hanging of these signs. Why it is not enforced I do not know. Had it been, one life, at least, would have been saved." Cth-r Fire. Denver. Col., Aug. 14.
